Can I Take Shilajit at 16 for Gym Workouts?

Patient's Query

I am 16 year old health boy who goes daily to work in gym. Can I take silajit.?

Answered by Dr. Madhu Sudan

Shilajit is a natural substance that some people believe can boost energy and stamina. However, at your age, it's important to remember that it's always a good idea to check with a doctor before starting any new supplement, just to be safe. Your body is still growing and developing, so it's essential to make sure that anything you take is safe and won't interfere with that process. If you're considering trying shilajit, I recommend discussing it with a healthcare provider who can give you personalized advice based on your specific health needs.

Hi doctor.... abosan ke liye best medicine kon si hai....jisse koi side effects na or mujhe koi prob na ho mera abosan easily ho jaye

महिला | 23

For abortion, there is no medicine that is 100% safe without side effects, especially if taken without consulting a doctor. Every woman’s body is different, and taking abortion pills on your own can cause heavy bleeding, infection, incomplete abortion, severe pain, or future fertility problems. The safest and correct option is to consult a qualified gynecologist . After an ultrasound and basic medical check-up, the doctor will decide whether abortion by medicine is safe for you or if another method is needed, depending on the duration of pregnancy and your health. Please do not take any abortion medicine without medical advice. It can be risky and life-threatening.

I am 28 years old female suffering from the problem of dark circles circles since last 10 years. I have taken a lot of treatments from 15+ doctors but nothing worked, i even tried all home remedies, ayurveda, homeopathy and much more, because of which my skin got burned twice. Moreover my dark circles got even more prominent and stiff. Now i want to head forward towards advance treatments. Doctors are suggesting me to go for chemical peel . Therefore i want a second opinion on whether it will work, how effective it will be and if it will it be safe.

Female | 28

Chemical peels can be an effective treatment for dark circles. It involves the use of a chemical solution that is applied to the skin in order to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new, healthy skin cells. This can help to reduce the appearance of dark circles, although it is not a guaranteed solution and may require multiple treatments to achieve the desired results. It is important to consult with your dermatologist before undergoing any chemical peel procedure, as it can carry some serious risks. These risks can include scarring, infection, skin discoloration, and irritation. Additionally, chemical peels can cause lasting damage to the skin if not performed properly. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions carefully.

Mujhe kal subha se cold ho raha hain.please tell treatment. And how I can cure cold naturally.

पुरुष | 35

It appears that you have caught a cold, which is very common. Cold symptoms are sneezing, coughing, a runny nose, and, occasionally, a sore throat. Colds are mainly caused by viruses, and they don't need antibiotics to get better. You can opt for natural therapies like drinking plenty of fluids, resting a lot, and inhaling steam to relieve your symptoms. A cold is likely to disappear without your intervention in approximately a week.

I am 24 year old woman from haryana. I feel that my body is Vata and pitta dominant. There are some skin issues like itching, dryness. I am short tempered and agressive. I feel weak and less focused on my studies. Please suggest me some tips and diet plan and also oil for Abhyanga(body massage).

Female | 24

Your skin issues, like itching and flaking, may be due to an imbalance between the Vata and Pitta doshas, according to Ayurveda. For better nutrition, focus on warm, cooked foods and avoid cold or raw ones. Stay hydrated and add stress-relieving foods like watermelon, cucumber, and mint to your diet. To balance your doshas and calm your mind, try Abhyanga with warmed coconut or sesame oil, gently massaging it into your skin before a warm shower. To improve focus while studying, maintain a regular schedule, practice mindfulness, and ensure you get enough sleep.

Periods mudinja adutha naal udaluravu seithu piragu karuthadai marunthu eduthu kondal karu uruvagamal iruka vaaipu ullatha

Male | 29

Taking an emergency contraceptive pill the day after intercourse—especially soon after periods—can effectively prevent pregnancy if taken within 24–72 hours. Its effectiveness is higher when ovulation has not yet occurred, which is often the case just after menstruation. However, it is not 100% reliable, so a pregnancy test  is advisable if periods are delayed and recommend regular contraception for future safety.
